Golden Pearls is a revolutionary larval diet that has experienced
great success in marine fish hatcheries in Europe. The secret to its
success is an innovative manufacturing process which involves the
agglomeration of micro-encapsulated particles that "traps" tiny air
pockets inside of the feed particles. This results in a "non-sinking"
particle diet that remains suspended in the larvae tank.
The introduction of Golden Pearls has significantly reduced the
dependence, and in some cases, replaced live feeds (rotifers and Artemia
nauplii) in commercial marine fish and shrimp hatcheries.
Golden
Pearls are available in particle sizes from 5 to 800 microns. For
comparison, a newly hatched brine shrimp is about 400 microns.
Great
as a larval fry diet and excellent for coral reef tanks! GP diets will
remain in the water column longer and mimic planktonic animals by moving
with the water current.
